[Verizon Droid Charge] ljcorsa:
Is anyone running into a problem with apps that have been moved to sdcard just disappearing? Most of the time I see little green droid icons all over my launcher (ADW), and lots of missing apps in the app drawer. I can reboot several times and eventually all show up.

I'm running ee4_debloated-v421 / 0730_charge_voodoo kernel / sdcard_patch. Am on my second handset (first one had a clicky button go dead). The earlier handset occasionally did the same thing.

I presume the sdcard is the culprit, as it is the common element. But I have popped it out, run fdisk and defrag all with no errors.

Any theories??
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I had this happen when I first got my charge. How I fixed it was I took the SDCard out of my phone and put it into my flash media reader, and then did a full format using HP's Format tool with default device settings. It took a long time to do the full format, but after doing so, I didn't have any more issues with apps disappearing that were installed to the SDCard.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ljcorsa:
Full format, huh... (gulp) well it's certainly worth a try! I'll report back.

Thanks,

Larry
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
I know when the phone first came out, there were several users with SDCard problems. I'm not sure how others fixed them, but a full format and a half hour or so fixed mine :p
[Verizon Droid Charge] ljcorsa:
Well, I'm disappointed to report that the problem did not disappear :-( Could it be the contents? I copied *everything* from the card before full formatting with the HP tool (which tooks hours as you said), then copied it all back. Same result... if I reboot enough times it will come up with all apps showing.

I've ordered a Class 10 card. Plan to use the HP tool on it straight away. What else would you recommend? Maybe move all the apps back to the phone? Would you start from a fresh load of the ROM?

Many thanks,

Larry
[Verizon Droid Charge] rmanaka:
I know that DroidXcon over in the Android Central forums advises NOT to move apps over to the SDcard because of problems like you have experienced...the higher (class) speed card may help. I've noticed that on my stock class 2 card when I view a subdirectory that contains large wallpaper files using QuickPic or Gallery, the thumbnails will often "time out" and not display towards the end of the list unless I refresh the listing several times. I would assume it is for the same reason that recording video to the class 2 card will time out after a few minutes.

Good luck with the Class 10 card...keep us posted!!!
[Verizon Droid Charge] ljcorsa:
Well, the Class 10 arrived in time to try again, so formatted with HP Utility and copied all the saved files over. Same behavior.

If it's the sheer quantity of apps on the SD card and there is a timeout involved, that might explain it! Reformatting the card would effectively defrag it which would speed it up, perhaps explaining imnuts' observation. And if reading in all those apps at startup is not I/O bound but maybe CPU bound, that would explain my experience.

I'm going to try moving apps back to the phone just to see.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ljcorsa:
Wow, this is persistent. Moved all the apps from SD back to phone using TiB, which seemed to hang sometimes. Tried different access methods with no clear winner. Anyway, after a reboot, the situation was unchanged. Unreal.

So I am starting from scratch with a freshly-formatted Class10 card, a full data/cache wipe, and a new ROM: GummyChargedFE1.9.1. Haven't had a problem yet, but haven't restored anything to SD either. Proceeding cautiously.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ljcorsa:
Ok, I'm converted. GummyChargedFE1.9.1 solved this problem. Everything seems to run better. Added the V6 SuperCharger thing which tweaks minfree levels and much more, and the combination runs extremely well.

Biggest problem for me is that I'm satisfied... spent the last two years trying to get my "original" Droid to run well, then got the Charge, started over. What do I do for an encore?
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
Hi everybody,

I've tested flashing custom UOT themes on Gingerbread and they work just great. I've included a link to the stock android files so you can now cook your own custom themes in UOT Kitchen. The only elements that don't work are boot animations lock screens. Use amend scripting and load up the two files in the zip below and you're good to go. Have fun! Once you have the zip from UOT, just flash it like a rom in recovery.

Download:

https://www.box.net/shared/ueuslkzquip0bksvucva

Zip contains framework and system ii files for stock GB. May work on ROMs but untested.

Theme builder:

Http://UOT.dakra.lt
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Wait you made a stock gb theme, HOW DO I MAKE THIS WORK, THANK YOU!!!!! ( I only ask because i get to installing update and then it just stops... stock blur'd gb patched)
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
No, no, no, perhaps I should clarify. These are the files you need to plug into UOT kitchen to make YOUR OWN themes. You can make a gb theme if you want...it's all there.
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Ahh gotcha, thanx mate :D

Edit uot won't load
[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
Yeah, UOT has been overloaded for a while. I was going to test something with CRT on it, but haven't for the last week :/
[Motorola Droid X2] ericerk:
Makes me sad, i was going to use it xD
[Motorola Droid X2] darkspaceboy:
seems like a good site just its been updating sence yesterday
[Motorola Droid X2] darkspaceboy:
if you pick something that doesnt work will it just not work or will it brick and force you to recover?
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
It just won't show. It's not really optimized for stock motorolla stuff and some of our files have wonky names compared to stock android stuff so things don't match up. When we get true custom ROMs we will be able to do more. At this point, everything is essentially reskinned and reworked blur under the hood.
[Motorola Droid X2] religi0n:
edit: nevermind.

Anyways, useful post! Thank you.
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
Ok the kitchen is back online so you all should be good to go. Remember these files are for stock GB and may not work on custom ROMs. Use at your own risk!
[Motorola Droid X2] BBEvolution:
Thanks for the info and files. Cooked myself the Status Bar in Black w/Dr. Droid icons and Custom Batt., Blue background and notif. had to go!!! Easy
[Motorola Droid X2] darkspaceboy:
yes. ty for the post vary useful. only thing i couldn't working was the status bar. when i would lode it it wouldn't even show up
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
Yeah ii'm noticing it doesn't showthe if you're on Eclipse. The files are for stock rooted GB. O had the same issue.
[Motorola Droid X2] darkspaceboy:
im running rooted gb de-bloated and de-odixed
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
Care for a screenshot? I'm considering whether I want to do this or not
[Motorola Droid X2] darkspaceboy:
they give you a preview on the site as your making it. so you know weather you like it or not
[Motorola Droid X2] darkspaceboy:
this is my phone running running funkenblack but it does the same thing when i make my own, seems like everything works ect the topbar or notification bar what ever it is

update. i got it to work by pulling my own framework-res.apk and systemui.apk and then uploading them to uot
[Motorola Droid X2] Ihatepullups:
Hey, euro, could you somehow possible post a zip for the default theme so that we can go back to that if we so desire? By that I mean the default gb one specifically on our x2s
[Motorola Droid X2] 3UR0TR45H:
Actually just replacing your modified APKs with the stock ones above should take you back to stock. If you want a flashable zip I can make one but it might be a while.

You can also flash themes on top of each other if you don't like how it turns out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlegower:
I installed Synergy RC2 on my Incredible. I reinstalled all my apps from the market place. However, I was going to open Amazon MP3 and noticed that the Cloud Player was missing. Further investigation and it turns out I have the UK version, despite being in the US.

My Google Maps keeps defaulting to the UK too, then locates me in the US, but always starts in the UK.

How can I fix this? I'd like to get the US Version of Amazon MP3 back on my phone.

EDIT: Solution Discovered. If anyone else runs into this issue, go to settings/language & keyboard/language and select English. It will reset sense and fix the problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalatorisaurus:
I was going to suggest this before, but I see you figured it out. Lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrezin:
Hi,

I'm kind new to SGS2, coming from a Milestone background with mostly CM roms (kabaldan is an amazing XDA member!)... it's a very different world indeed... =]

Right now, I got my SGS2 for 2 days, already rooted with CF and just returned to stock KE4 kernel to compare/test battery life and other stuff before choosing a kernel to stick... I'm liking the device a lot, it is powerful and compact, maybe it could replace my standalone music player too (O2)... but one thing really catch my eye in the device's screen and it is hard to ignore, the screen sharpening that happens in the, otherwise beautiful, samoled+ screen... is there any way to disable this "feature". I know many of you may like it, so I'm all for choices, but specially working with feature films and images/display background, this kind of effect (sharpen) really bothers me.

So, if anyone has any info about changing/disabling this effect, I would really appreciate.

Tks.
[HTC EVO 3D] aramova:
I know there has been a question about the homescreen icons before but I never saw a resolution to the issue.

Problem: Applications loaded to the SDCard will show the default android icon rather then their own application icons.

I've noticed if I change scenes it will reload the icons and show them like it should, however the next reboot they revert back to the default green android icons.

Any ideas? :confused:
[HTC EVO 3D] 1dollarbi11:
If you go to settings, applications, running services, press menu then hit cached services and stop htc sense, it will reload sense with the default icons. easiest way to go about it so far, no fix yet either. Been pissin me off to

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] tghockey07:
I went to Best Buy and happened to pick up the very last USB adapter. I got it with a ShopKick $5 discount so it came out to about $16 with tax. My first impression was that the box was much smaller than I expected. It was about the size of my Droid.

I preceded to open it up and noticed how much smaller it was than I expected.

The first thing I plugged in was my usb wireless mouse.

My Tab recognized it right away and gave me a nice message saying it worked and now I had a cursor on the screen. Everything worked on the mouse except for the right mouse button, but I kind of expected that.

The next thing I tried was my Droid. It gave me an error saying that it was too high powered to work, which is a bummer, but I can still transfer between the two with bluetooth even if it takes a little while to set up.

Finally I tried a usb drive with a track by Deadmau5 because I knew that that song was not in my library or my Google Music library. Sure enough it showed up in my Music app, but I couldn't find it in Astro File Manager. There was a folder for "usbdrive", but when I opened it, it was empty.

Overall Opinion

I was expecting the adapter to be about twice the size, but was quite happy to find that it was smaller. It seems to work with many devices, but it is maddening when you get the "too high powered device" error. It was also a very tight fit to fit a USB device into the end and you had to use quite a bit of force to plug stuff in. I feel like the overall plug itself fits very loose though in the Tab and that bothers me. It's just too bad Samsung couldn't have fit it inside the tab

7/10

Pros:

Small

Allows many usb devices

Adds more functionality

Cons:

It fits into the Tab loosely

Expensive at $19.99 for what it is

Doesn't work with high powered devices
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] jdavet:
Thanks for the review... was planning on buying it, but maybe I'll hold off for a bit.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] tghockey07:
I would recommend it, it's just kind of expensive for what it is.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] cleblanc92:
We need a version of this that allows a USB power. I know it's another thing to plug in but it would save from needing to carry/plug in a powered USB hub just to use an external HD.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] MMcCraryNJ:
I got mine for 10 dollars after a 10 dollar RZ coupon from Best Buy. Everything I've plugged into it works so far (Mouse, Keyboard, Logitech USB Controller, different thumb drives). I have no complaints.

Of interest is that the Engrish directions state that you need to plug whatever USB device into the adapter first, and then plug the adapter into the Tab, or else risk damaging the Tab. Not too sure why.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rodrigos122:
do NTFS flash drives work or just fat32?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] eric6b12:
The GT did not recognize the format on my NTFS formatted Lexar 16GB usb drive. The instructions that accompany the GT USB adapter state compatibility with FAT32 (Max 32GB), PTP/UMS Camera, and Sammy Laser Printer (after 2008).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Entropy512:
In theory they should work with pershoot's kernel and modules. Not with stock.

I haven't tried it yet though.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Pancake345:
So does this work with Logitech's all in one usb adapter for mouse and keyboard at the same time?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] tghockey07:
Ill try it in a little bit because I am currently running pershoots 1.4ghz kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] pokey9000:
I don't have a Logitech wireless keyboard, but I've used my Anywhere MX mouse's micro receiver with it successfully. It's one of the "unifying" ones that's supposed to work with their current gen keyboards.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] verybad666:
question?

can you connect to it a 2 into one usb adapter? That way you can charge the tablet and have any type of usb device connected?

Will that work?

Ed
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] adamjt:
Can someone with the USB adapter help a few of us out and answer the question I posted here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1208402 ? Greatly appreciated:)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] notfaded1:
cifs?

would you need to push the cifs/ntfs module in for it to work with pershoot kernal?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] Francesco45:
My Logitech MK320 keyboard and mouse works fine with the Samsung USB adapter and my GT-P7510. I just wish I could find a smaller keyboard and mouse package.

Frank
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] tghockey07:
Sorry it took me so long to respond. As it looks right now, I'd say yes. When I inserted an NTFS formatted flash drive in said "usb storage black or unsupported filesystem" on pershoots kernel with no cifs.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
Hi!

Is the Libra same as Blade or not?

and does Libra ROMs work in Blade?

Libra ROMs works so is libra ZTE BLADE with other cases..?

EDIT:can anyone edit TouchWiz Android for zte blade?
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Yep it is mostly the same.

The same ROM's should work on either.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
OK thanks for answering! :)
[Blade General] digital0:
IMHO only when Blade is gen2.
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Yeah, good point. I forgot to mention that important bit.
[Blade General] HUdasp:
Libra is almost same phone as newest Blades. All Gingerbread ROM´s works, BUT on Libra doesn´t work camera with latest CM7 builds. Propably different camera hardware.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
yes I found information about that... :)

too bad can't download official libra's GingerBread ROM.. :/
[Blade General] k0zmic:
But wouldn't the Gingerbread leak that Ginger Stir Fry is based upon be basically the same as a Libra ROM i.e. Gingerbread on a .35 Kernel?

I guess you can have a look through this thread for what is closest to an official Libra ROM
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
OK! :)

I using the Ginger Stir Fry and all not work so I need to test the CM7 newest nighty ROM and then I need to find 100% stable working fast ROM to zte!

All ROMs are wrong or not work all features...

and I want official not leak ROM! :D

because I don't want cra##y ROM to my ZTE Blade II
[Blade General] fattymcdirty:
has any1 of you got a dump of the stock 2.2 libra rom? if yes... could you upload it somewhere? i installed 2.3 on my libra... everything is working EXCEPT the camera :( so either i need to head back to 2.2 or someone of you has already solved that issue :/ perhaps the cm7 cracks could find a solution...?!
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
maybe in android.modaco you can find stock libra 2.2 ROM
[Blade General] fattymcdirty:
nope... nothin' found, which is REALLY a stock rom of the libra.. :/
[Blade General] fattymcdirty:
these is the libra camera...

would some1 be able to implement those drivers into cm7 to make the cm7 blade rom compatible to the libra?

that's the only hardware difference between the libra and the blade:

msm_camera_mt9p111.0

msm_camera_s5k5cagx.0

Hi, I have ZTE Libra 2.2 out of the box.

Is there any easy way to backup the ROM ?

THx
[Blade General] saaransh9:
use the romdump method
[Blade General] m0hamed:
Hi saaransh9, thanks I never tried but I had already clockWokMod installed and launch a backup on my sd card.

Now I have all these files, which one can be shared and used as an original ROM ?

boot.img 5.1MB

recovery.img 5.1MB

system.yaffs2.img 165MB

data.yaffs2.img 136MB

.android_secure.vfat.tar 2k

cache.yaffs2.img 25k

nandroid.md5 1k

Or maybe I should better use romdump ?

Thx
[Blade General] saaransh9:
nandroid backups always work whenever u mess up with your phone just u need to have cwm recovery and nandroid backup on ur sd card and then go to recovery and just restore.

i hope it works
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Hello, I was playing with AWN Manager (installed through Webtop2sd) only to end up having duplicate icons on the App Tray while trying to remove the separators. :confused:

Now I'm unable to remove the duplicates.

Anybody know how to rebuild the App tray and want to share the solution?

Thanks in advance!!!

Rayan
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Bumpity-bump!

NE1?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rayan:
Found a solution myself!

After all my attempts to fix this problem (rebooting, clearing data, even reflashing the webtop altogether) I finally found a solution.

It was just a matter of going to AWN Manager then Applets then select the separators on the window below the Applets one by one and selecting Deactivate.

I missed this at first because its kinda hard to select the separators since they are so skinny, but it's possible.

Once I cleared them all I could finally clean the icons.

I don't know why duplicate separators create multiple icons, so you gotta be careful with separators because they messed up the App Tray big time.

Cheers!

[Defy General] MrPink52:
Hello,

well I read a lot about rooting and flashing custom Roms the last few days and I figured I would give it a try.

I really hope I didn't break my phone, hopefully one of you Android / Defy Gurus can help me out :o

I rooted my phone with Super-One-Click and that worked fine, then I installed Recovery Bootstrap for Defy from a thread in this forum (can't find it at the moment) but it is this one: "bootstrap-recovery-clockwork-mod"

Anyway, that worked fine too... I make a backup (backup/restore->backup). Then did multiple factory resets and deleted the Cache as well as the dalvik cache multiple times. And then installed CM7 off the SD card.... the first time it didn't work, and it booted back to the setup of blur... I tried it again this time activating "Fix Permissions" before install... it then worked and it booted up CM7 fine.

I then wanted to go ahead and install The Google apps from here: goo-inside.me for CM7 ... did the same thing wiping the caches and then installing off of SD card... rebooted and I get stuck with the motorola logo... which just stays there and does not go away.

I rebooted multiple times (by taking out the battery) entered recovery mode with the volume button (this is the standard android recovery) tried clearing cache and rebooting, same problem... tried "wipe data / factory reset" same problem. No matter what I do it doesn't boot past the motorola logo.

Any ideas? I read about RSDLite and downloaded a stock sbf but my phone isn't recognized by RSDLite while not booted... even in the recovery utlitiy no connection is made (USB Debugging is off I think).

Any help would be very much appreciated. I am kind of freaking out, I just got the phone a few days ago :eek:

Thanks so much,

MrPink52
[Defy General] pmp326:
before u turn your phone on hold vol+ key until it loads the bootloader for rsd lite
[Defy General] MrPink52:
Didn't want to make the first post overly long or complicated so here a quick update.

I read somewhere else that I could get a connection in RSDLite by holding volume up while booting and entering the bootloader... that seemed to work, so chose this SBF File "JRDNEM_U3_2.21.0" from and developers and told RSDLite to flash it... it said complete...the display then turned black... and now I don't have any image at all. It is still found in RSDLite but nothing happens when I boot... and I don't even see the logo anymore.

Now I will definetly stop trying until someone here can hopefully help me.... it seems like me trying by myself is only making things worse :(

Please tell me there is still hope for my Def.

Thanks,

MrPink52
[Defy General] gramps50:
When the red M logo is on the screen the led should turn blue for a few seconds, at this point press the Down Volume key & you should then go into ClockworkMod Recovery. I would try clearing the cache from there or maybe even doing a factory reset.
[Defy General] pmp326:
you will probably have to flash stock and start over
[Defy General] MrPink52:
I already tried that, like I said it didn't start the ClockWorkMod but instead the standard Android recovery Utlity which only has limited options... but now as I have described, the problem has gotten worse... I can't even get in there anymore after flashing with RSDLite.

Help! :confused:

MrPink52
[Defy General] pmp326:
im in us and my stock file is this one p3_jordan_umts_jordan-user-2.2.1-3.4.2-107_JDN-4-000000-release-keys-signed-T-Mobile-US.sbf
[Defy General] MrPink52:
I took the one listed for Germany. My phone isn't branded so I tried to flash it with the sbf that seemed to fit.

Can you tell me exactly how I can do this correctly?

I may be doing something wrong with RSD Lite... but slowly I am really affraid I have bricked my Defy for good :eek:

MrPink52
[Defy General] pmp326:
after you flash go into stock recovery vol- key and factory reset then reboot should work fine then
[Defy General] MrPink52:
That gives me hope... the problem is I can't press vol- after flashing... the screen just stays black... I can reflash it and I get white writing on the screen "Updating SW" but when its finished the screen just turns black again... and neither Vol+ nor Vol- during boot does anything.

Any further advice? :confused:
[Defy General] pmp326:
try another sbf the one ur flashing isnt the right one
[Defy General] pmp326:
it should show a gray motorola logo when u go to boot
[Defy General] pmp326:
i think this is the one u neeFull SBF name ::JRDNEM_U3_3.4.2_179-6.1_TMNAB_SIGN_SIGNED_UCAJRDNEMARAB1B80AA03A.0R_PD S03C_USAJRDNFRYOTMDE_P016_A013_M005_HWp3_Service1F F.sbfd
[Defy General] MrPink52:
Do you have a direct link? I couldn't find it on the and-developers site... so a direct link would be great!

Until then I guess it can't hurt to try various sbf files to see if one works.

The only thing I am afraid of, is that my battery will dy during the flashing... is there a way to charge the battery in my current state? Or will it only charge when Android is booted?

Thanks for your support so far,

MrPink52
